Sunnis approve of bombing Alawites? And in so doing get help for the piplelline they’d like to see built?

Knock me over with an effing feather.

How many surface ships will the Saudis be providing? How many combat aircraft will they be flying? And what base will they sortie from?

So what! Are there going to be any Saudi F-16s in the raid? Are there going to be any Saudi solders on the ground invasion? NO. No, no, no and a thousand times hell no.

Lurch even said they offered to ‘pay’ for it. Are they gonna KEEP paying for it after Assad is oustered? HELL NO!

We would be saddled with an impossible incursion and decade long drain trying to get out of there.

Not one single soldier’s life, not one bullet is worth some towel head camel jockey’s gasoline for his desert Mercedes.

Somehow I don’t think this is going to help get public support...

If the Saudis want to show their support, then have them drop the price of their oil back down to $40/bbl like it was the day Bush left office.

Since the saudi royals are not America’s friend, this is going to cost the U.S. somehow ... someway. Unknown though the how and way ... yet.

"Are there going to be any Saudi solders on the ground invasion?"

Al Qaeda are Saudi foot soldiers and they're already there.

“Qatar’s foreign minister, Khalid Al Attiya, who joined Mr. Kerry at the news conference, stopped short of explicitly endorsing a military strike but said his nation would back foreign intervention.?

JFK: WTF does this mean and is it the same for the Saudi’s? Appears to me that they will send good wishes not warm bodies.

True, but they are the “Saudi Emir Disavowed Irregulars.”

I’m talking about recognized Saudi Regulars.

Just declare them a belligerent and target their oilfields, ports, and palaces. When missiles impact Syria, ten minutes later they impact Saudi Arabia.

Watch the whining then.
